They were in the finals 2 straight years, and had the pleasure of having JKidd in his prime leading them into the playoffs every season. So yes, they have been that much better than us over the last 20 years.

yea they are def better historywise, but they also set the record for fewest wins er they started like 0-20

everyone has brutal stretches, they are not world beaters, and have had only a handful of good seasons
